Compared to the previous NYX colors I posted, these four are positively colorful! Although I have to chuckle a little about the names. For as wildly creative as some of the newer polish names are, the length of the names get a bit difficult to add to the swatches because they can be so long. [...]
I can’t say that I’ve been a big fan of the crackle effect (or shatter, fracture or this effect by any other name). But when I saw the Crocodile effect from Dior, I kinda had to get it. Really, how often does a high end polish indulge in fad finishes? Let’s talk about Golden Light [...]
The next batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula swatches may seem a bit on the sedate side, but there are a few here that really captured my interest. Fortunately, I’d categorized all these as work appropriate, for those that are concerned with that. And as stated in previous posts, you can find these for a [...]
I had recently covered two of the Estee Lauder Beyond Black colors and liked them enough to go back and buy the remaining two. To say that Estee Lauder has been surprising me with their edgy colors would be an extreme understatement. Both Black Plum and Viper are shimmers, but they are definitely more apparent [...]
I realized that I’ve been doing numerous high end polishes since my haitus. So let’s get back to some low priced options. I started the NYX Advanced Salon Formula series before my break and still had quite a few bottles left to swatch. So over the next few weeks, I’ll have 3-4 more posts covering [...]
Although I may not post Lancome polishes in quantity on this blog, I actually have a nice little collection of them. However, most of them are the older 10ml bottles that were going for $20. Recently Lancome has veered away from the 10ml bottles and have reissued everything to the 6ml bottles for $15. Which [...]
The CND Pink Wishes Duo has been sitting on my desk for a little while. I’ve covered quite a few of the CND duos (I think I’ve actually gotten them all) and there are ones that I love and ones that I hate. Pink Wishes is a split decision. Pink Wishes Color is a pale [...]
This is the last of my “ready-to-go-but-never-published” posts that was languising during my sabbatical. Between sales and a few eye-catching colors, I’ve recently ended up purchasing alot more Revlons than I have in quite a while. I think a good number of these are older colors, despite the “New Shade” skickers on the bottle caps. [...]
Yves Saint Laurant (which will be referred to as YSL from this point on because I’m a lazy typist) has recently come out with a plethora of colors for thier La Laque Couture Line. I was pretty excited about this because their last few offerings (here and here) were a departure from the mainstream colors [...]
